Health

I can't imagine working in a hospital; it seems quite bleak to me, actually.

Today, visiting Deborah, I was so grateful for good health at this point in my life. I'm grateful for Allen's health also.

Good health has to be one of the greatest blessings a person can have.

Oh, yes, I'm grateful for good health.

LIFE

Someone in our family just experienced the loss of life.

Hearts are heavy...

Sorrow is felt by the family...

And, it makes me appreciate the wonder, the awe, the majesty of life.

And, also, the incredible miracle of birth and of having healthy children and grandchildren.

In a time when hearts are heavy, I am grateful for the gift of LIFE.

Health,
Family,
America,
Gospel,
Blue skies,
Jeremy's return,
Life.

At one point in my life, I was sick with an undetermined illness. It overwhelmed me and I worried about my health 24 hours a day. I remember praying to Heavnly Father saying, "If I can just get well, I will remember to appreciate my health every day." Sad to say, I haven't always kept that promise, but I am so grateful for the health I enjoy - at this point in my life.

Jeremy's Safe Return Home

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for Jeremy's return to America.

What a great blessing. And, yet, there are many others still fighting.

I will continue to pray for them.

I am thankful for America...how I love this country.

Beautiful World

Right now is an incredible time to be in St. George; beautiful weather, green lawns, blue sky; scenes that take my breath away.

I am always in awe of the wide variety of things Heavenly Father created; colors, smells, textures' it truly is mind boggling to me.

Thank you, Heavenly Father for this magnificent world.

Music

I heard some marvelous music today; it was all classical...familiar stuff. It stirred my soul.
